With Trey Lance putting up solid numbers like 13-28 for 164 yards and an INT.

You may recall that the game was played in an absolute monsoon:

They have a lot of mouths to feed contractwise. Let's see if they can keep that OL together, and now that you've had a couple of weeks of real defensive footage on him, it may not be so pretty (or Purdy, if you prefer).

 

 

Purdy is a quick decision maker in an offense where not much more is asked of him...........I don't think that will change........but I do hope it does and that it gets harder for him because it was pretty ridiculous how good the 49ers were considering his lack of experience.     I'm not opposed to winning a SB in part because other teams took a step back.

I'm going to donate my stem cells to Josh and Brock to fix those elbows up...going to march into the clinic and demand a cup tomorrow!

Purdy will be fine by August/Sept. he’s QB 1 imo.

So it's obviously not a full tear if he thinks it can be re-habbed.    So it wouldn't be surprising if Purdy opts not to have the surgery.    Former Yankee pitcher Masahiro Tanaka had a significantly torn UCL but decided not to have surgery and has been pitching for about 10 years since.    He had to limit the effort in his throws modestly because throwing a baseball puts a lot more stress on the UCL...........but since the motion of throwing a football rarely causes UCL damage on it's own........Purdy might not have to change a thing.

No surprise but Shanahan just said Jimmy G won't be coming back to the 49ers. I guess it's the Lance and Purdy show.

Purdy should just get the surgery and start that clock.

 

6 months from today is August 1st. He'll be fine for the season, or at least, the vast majority of it. 

 

The longer he waits the further that calendar gets pushed into the preseason, then the season itself.

No Lance show...Purdy show all day

Man - this is a tough break for all.  

 

Obviously it's terrible for him, but how does San Fran deal with this?  He is a flash in the pan type guy - who may turn into a perennial pro bowler - or could turn into Rob Johnson.  Now you have to replace him next year - and assuming you find a good replacement - good luck trading him coming off TJ surgery.  

 

Will be interesting to watch how they deal with him there.

Good luck.
